Broken Home (Jacoby Shaddix and Michael Clifford)

Chapter Tweleve

*Lizzy's point of view.*

Finally, graduation was here. Sadly, it was only me and Cyn. Michael had to wait till next year and believe it or not, Jacoby dropped out.

Not because he was failing, or got kicked out.

Because his band was finally starting to kick off.

Cyn's brother got him a recording deal with a label. His band played their demons and produced them to songs and an album.

Jacoby's band, Papa Roach, was going on tour soon.

Michael, was getting the right people in his, and when he started to settle on people, it started to look better for him and his band, 5 Seconds of Summer. They had some songs, and were going to a record label with them soon.

"Nerves?" Cyn asked me with a laugh.

I nodded my head, "A lot, what about you?"

"A little." She said laying her head on my shoulder as we looked in the mirror together.

I took a deep breath and looked at us in our cap and gown, "Can you believe its time?"

She raised back up off my shoulder and nodded her head, "Yea. Can you believe we became such good friends?"

I laughed and looked at her, near in tears, "I can't believe it."

She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.

"You both dressed?" Cyn's brother, Ronnie, said knocking on the door.

"Yea." Cyn yelled for him.

I whipped the tears from my face and took another deep breath.

A little came running in the room from under Ronnie and jumped in Cyn's arms. Jacoby came in after Ronnie and shut the door.

"Wheres Michael?" I asked Jacoby.

He shrugged his shoulders, "I thought he was in here to be honest."

My nerves started to get the best of me. I wanted, no I needed, Michael to be here. He was my rock and he could actually calm me down.

"I'll go find him." Jacoby said, noticing I was a mess with out him.

Hours later, Jacoby still hasnt came back with Michael and it was time to line up with the rest of our class.

"What the hell is going on." I said as Cyn and I started to walk to our place.

She shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe hes stuff in traffic."

"He can't be. Hes on his bike, he can get out of it." I said freaking out.

Cyn laughed, "Lizzy, he cant get threw traffic any faster on a bike."

"Can too, I've seen him." I said nearly serious.

She shook her head and squeezed my shoulder, "Relax. He'll be here."

I flashed her a smile and she went to her spot in line, leaving me a nerves wreck, alone.

We all walked out in twos. I was up a little farther then Cyn, but we mouthed a conversation back and forths from each other, about how freaked I was. When the principle came up on the stage, I turned and started to pay attention. I had speech at the end after all for being head of the yearbook staff.

One by one, each line of people, went to get there diploma. My line got up and I looked all over the place for Michael. And he was no where to be found. I looked for Ronnie and found him holding Willow. Jacoby was now missing, but just as it was my turn, Jacoby sat down and looked at me heart broken shaking his head.
